Royal Navy Volunteer Bands from across the country gathered today to perform in the annual RNVBA Festival in Portsmouth. After performing a Beating Retreat we played a concert set featuring an excellent flute solo from Kim Murton. This year for the first time, the Massed Bands of the RNVBA joined together to perform a selection of marches and music by John Williams as a grande finale on the parade square; it was a spectacular sight!
